I could send other eMails, but not this particular eMail that included all the eMail addresses in my eMail address book. Walter- I can see where to AOL this might look like you are mailing lists of address for spamming. You cold always break it down and try sending 5 or 6 separate emails each with a portion of the addresses you are saving. OR...you could contact AOL and explain that you are not a spammer and see if they will allow you an exception. Joan
